Design For Good: Show Your St. Louis
Doing good in St. Louis! Recent events in St. Louis have left the area divided. Our group wants to share our love for the city, its rich culture, and its vibrant community. What St. Louis needs right now is more love and kindness. We want to challenge and encourage our fellow St. Louisans to show pride in our city and help change the world's perception of our hometown through this two-part campaign. The "Hidden Gems" campaign invites St. Louisans to share their favorite hidden gems in their neighborhoods. We distributed t-shirts and asked participants to complete a survey and post images of their favorite spots around St. Louis. Using the feedback we received, we created a book to highlight these hidden gems and celebrate the unique charm of the St. Louis area. The "Give a Little STL" initiative encourages St. Louisans to perform small acts of kindness for their neighbors. On April 23, from 12:00–2:00 p.m., we visited the University of Missouri–St. Louis student center to distribute t-shirts in exchange for the completion of a small act of kindness.
